I had my first appointment on September 20, 2021 after moving to North Andover and needing to switch vets. I found out about them through receiving a letter in the mail letting me know they were accepting new patients. I was able to call and schedule an appointment about one week out which was really nice considering it has been difficult with the increase in pet ownership lately. I was able to reach them easily when I called and was able to email my dog's old files to them with no problem. Upon arriving to the appointment, I found the staff welcoming and the facility was very clean. I was able

I received a reminder call from your clinic that my appointment was scheduled for 3 pm on 8/25. I arrived to your clinic at 3:10 today and called when i arrived because that's what most vet clinics are doing where they came out and take the dog.
Katie answered the phone and said my appointment was set up for 3:30 . To my surprise, I was early and thought it was strange because the reminder phone call i received said 3 pm . Katie continued to say " you need to either go back to your house and come back at your appointment time, We have other things to do" with insolent tone in her voice . I told

My family used the practice prior to Dr. Tanner buying it and he took over the care of my dog as a puppy. She suffered from regular urinary tract infections as an adult, and Dr. Tanner would always pass them off as being common for a dog of that size. She then got really sick while at the kennel and they took her to the 24hr emergency hospital where they found a softball sized tumor on her kidney.
She was 11 and Dr. Tanner insisted he could successfully operate. That was on a Monday, and all week he said she was too weak to see us and Friday would be best. We called on Friday, excited to see our

Not full service. The patient needed what they didn't have in-house. This is a fair assessment.

Do NOT get your dog spayed here. Their negligence almost resulted in my dogs death. My dog had to have emergency surgery elsewhere to correct their mistake.
